Dr. Katz: Would you do me a big favor? Would you give Liz (old family friend Ben mistook for a prostitute) a call and apologize and just explain to her that you didn't recognize her.Ben: If I did that to Liz, I certainly would apologize but there's a good chance she should change her life anyway.

Ben: You know Dad, I gotta be honest with you, there is only so much I can give of myself. I mean, I know I got a lot, but I can't give, I can't give no more.Dr. Katz: Well you can't go on like this for three days in a row.

(on Ben accusing an old family friend of being a prostitute)Dr. Katz: It disturbs me to think that that's your first reaction to a woman carrying groceries.Ben: She was carrying groceries, but she was doing it so provocatively.

Dr. Katz: So, how's it going, your uh ...Ben: I haven't been able to help anybody yet, really, one on one.Dr. Katz: Not so simple, is it?Ben: Yeah but I really haven't had the courage to approach someone yet.

Ben: Listen Laura, I'm calling from the street. Man I love the street, Laura. I love the smells. I love the ...Laura: Is there something I could do for you?Ben: I'm at a pay phone right now, Laura.

Sandra: Everything's difficult. Life is difficult. Every time you get out of bed and you have to head out into the world, it's potentially difficult.

I really wanna change.Dr. Katz: I think that it's not a ...Sandra: I want some substance. I don't want this kind of, you know, rhetoric. It's, you know, because it doesn't really change the world. It doesn't change the consciousness. It doesn't elevate us. It's just this, you're in the mire and the muck and the nonsense. But that's not even the point here. That's not even the point. I want something deeper. I want something that elevates me; that takes me out of this day-to-day self-indulgence.

You know when I leave here, I don't feel bad.(music starts playing)
